TECH CRUNCH

You can’t go anywhere without a tech item being shoved in your face. And we can’t stop it. No matter how hard we try, we just can’t stop the impending love/hate relationship we have with these advancing devices. But what we can control is how we make the most out of every item we purchase. If we’re going to spends hundreds, nay, thousands, they ought to help us better ourselves faster, right? So basically the time I’m 40 I should be able to speak 6 languages, DJ better than Aoki, play a solo better than Joe Perry, and dribble faster than Kobe.
